Jody Donaldson, the police spokesman, said that Crapo was
arrested around 12:45 a.m. on Sunday. An officer observed Crapo
running a red light. He was stopped, arrested and taken into
custody without incident, Donaldson said. He was released on
$1,000 bond, and he has a court date on Jan. 4.

Crapo released an apologetic statement in which he said this
"circumstance" would never happen again.

"I am deeply sorry for the actions that resulted in this
circumstance," Crapo said in the statement. "I made a mistake for
which I apologize to my family, my Idaho constituents and any
others who have put their trust in me. I accept total
responsibility and will deal with whatever penalty comes my way
in this matter. I will also undertake measures to ensure that
this circumstance is never repeated."

Crapo is best known for being a part of the bipartisan "Gang of Eight" — four
Republicans and four Democrat Senators who tried to work on the
framework of a budget deal to avert the year-end fiscal cliff.
